Elli returns to India amid second wave of pandemic

- Titas Chowdhury

Afew days back, Elli Avrram came back to Mumbai from Sweden, where she spent the past month in the company of her loved ones. She reveals that while her family was worried about her travel back to India amid the second wave of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, she had to come back since she has to move to a new apartment in the city. Currently quarantini­ng in her pad, she shares, “I was supposed to be back much earlier but due to the rise in the cases in the city, I kept pushing my return flight. I had to come back now because I need to move out of my present apartment.”

The Inside Edge 2 actor adds, “It’s a scary situation, but I tried to not be scared while travelling. In fact, my parents and friends were more worried. I’m trying to not worry and I’m making sure to follow all home quarantine rules.”

She says that the Covid situation in Sweden is strange. “It’s quite confusing there. No one wears masks in Sweden but they do maintain social distancing and follow Covid-related rules at restaurant­s and stores. To be honest, everyone there is so chill about the virus. I didn’t meet most of my friends. I didn’t want to catch the virus and pass it on to my parents or my grandmothe­r,” she narrates. As Avrram looks forward to resuming her shoots, she stresses on the need to not panic. “I’m eager to start shooting but I’ll make sure that things are taken care of properly. I believe that it’s important to not feed fear because fear has the power to destroy us,” she signs off.
